The reply to that question is certainly ‘not very much’. It may be rather pedantic to obsess over whether a picture strictly counts as minor things, provided the image and its quality succeed you want. However, the same apparent image at a small sensor as at a large sensor will be made up of fewer pixels so is unlikely to get the same level of superior. Being equipped for true macro work stands out as the gateway to the most useful high magnification images, when using the biting sharpness that can be wanted in this job. Compact and other small sensor cameras are usually excellent for close-up job provided any limitations during image quality are acceptable to your intended purpose of any picture...
